Outside the Golden Years Restaurant, two beautiful women, one tall and one short, became the focus of attention. Dressed in retro style, they were truly ethereal and beautiful!

Whether it was other diners or Qin Cheng, Qing Mu, and their group, everyone was watching the two women, their eyes drawn to them.

With Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin also arriving, it was impossible not to notice several exceptionally beautiful women standing together.

"Old Wang, let me down right now!" Qin Cheng shouted. Passersby were all watching him. He was hung on the wall without any tape or restraints, just sitting there motionless. It was quite a sight. He was unfortunately surrounded by onlookers.

Now, Wang Xuan is just a bag carrier. The Little Thing that used to be exploited and made a laborer refuses to carry anything anymore and stuffs everything into his hands, with big and small bags taking up all his hands.

His fingertips glowed, rescuing Qin Cheng.

"They look like a family of three." Guan Lin, a relative of Chen Yongjie, was also present. Standing at the restaurant entrance, she whispered in Old Chen's ear.

"Don't speak!" Chen Yongjie was startled and quickly used telepathy to prevent himself from opening his mouth.

"They look like a family." The Little Fox Immortal spirit tilted its head to look. It had come along too, and the restaurant staff mistook it for a high-class pet, so they made an exception and allowed it into the private room.

Horse Chao Fan wasn't so lucky. It was abandoned by the group in a manor in the suburbs. It was too big to be taken out, so it lost its appetite for spiritual herbs.

Wu Yin looked at Wang Xuan, then at the Sword Immortal Jiang Qingyao. The latter truly resembled an immortal descended to the mortal world, her aura ethereal and otherworldly.

In addition, when she saw Wang Xuan carrying a bunch of paper bags, she felt complicated. She had never seen this guy buy clothes for anyone before.

Zhao Qinghan also looked over, her gaze sweeping over Wang Xuan's face, then she was drawn to Jiang Qingyao's ethereal appearance, before turning her attention to the younger one.

"What are you all doing standing here? Let's go into the private room." Wang Xuan said. Something was off about the scene. He felt that he had made a mistake in choosing this dinner party.

"Oh right, let me introduce myself..." He tried to salvage the situation by introducing himself.

"Old Chen and Qing Mu need no introduction, everyone knows them..."

"Wang Xuan, you've forgotten the old for the new! You've never bought me clothes, cosmetics, gifts, or bags!" someone said, expressing their dissatisfaction.

Wang Xuan was interrupted and immediately felt a headache coming on.

He discovered that it was actually the Little Fox Immortal spirit speaking, making accusations, and he really wanted to say, "Why are you meddling in this mess?"

"This Little Fox is quite interesting, and it looks alright too. It's about the same as that silly, innocent Little White Tiger," the Little Thing commented immediately.

Wu Yin walked over and, using telepathy, said, "You're really something! I haven't seen you for a few days and you've become a porter. Did you bring your whole family back with you?"

"Are they sisters?" Zhao Qinghan approached, secretly transmitting her voice as she glanced at Wang Xuan, then added, "Very beautiful!"

Wang Xuan shrugged. This wouldn't do. If they blocked the way, it would attract a crowd, which wouldn't be good. First, he instructed the Little Fox Immortal to shut her mouth, saying, "If a fox can talk, outsiders will hear it and call the police!"

The Little Fox pouted, feeling wronged; it was being used as a scapegoat.

Wang Xuan introduced, "This is Jiang Qingyao, well, you can guess, she comes from the Immortal Realm, I'll tell you more about her later. This little one is... let's just call her Little Qing for now."

"Why? I've even been stripped of my name!" the Little Thing cried indignantly.

"Not bad, you have a lot of different kinds of women around you, with great figures and Goddess- like looks." Jiang Qingyao still maintained her ethereal fairy-like demeanor, but secretly sent a message to Wang Xuan, giving him a little jab.

Fortunately, they quickly entered the private room, preventing a crowd from gathering.

"This is my college classmate Zhao Qinghan. She's a very nice person, but she likes to give people the 'friend card'."

"This is Wu Yin. Speaking of which, we met at this restaurant. It brings back so many memories," Wang Xuan introduced them one by one, his voice tinged with emotion.

"This is Grandpa Liu Huaian, Old Chen's master."

Although Liu Huaian was quite old, his cultivation had broken through, and he now looked like a young man in his twenties. He stood up and said, "Greetings, Fairy! I have heard of your name!"

Old Master Liu was quite polite, even a little reserved. He knew a lot about things from the Immortal Land.

The battlefield of the inter-domain war, people there have conducted research, which famous figures have emerged from the Immortal Land, the Land of Immortal Dao, the Land of Deities, the Land of Technological Life since ancient times? A list was once made.

He knew perfectly well that Sword Immortal Jiang Qingyao was among them, and that she was the Number One Person in the Land of Immortal Dao since ancient times!

"Please sit down, sir. These are all acquaintances and friends. Don't be so polite." Wang Xuan quickly smoothed things over. Didn't you see that Old Chen and Qing Mu had already stood up? They were going to follow suit and perform a full bow. It wouldn't be good to be too formal in this kind of occasion.

"Don't be shy, we're friends now that we know each other. Relax and just call me by my name." Jiang Qingyao smiled and said, "I'm actually quite young. Well, I recently started practicing a celestial scripture called the Ascension Return Origin Scripture. It cuts through the years and old obsessions, allowing me to transform and be reborn. I'm only nineteen years old now. Although I wasn't very old before, I've always maintained the youthful vigor of a twenty-two-year-old. But at least I'm a bit younger now, and I really like it."

Wang Xuan didn't know how to "praise" her. In fact, she didn't need anyone to praise her. The Sword Immortal was just that direct, praising herself.

Then, she stepped on Wang Xuan's foot and glanced at him, as if to say, "Want me to praise him?"

Wang Xuan forgot, but Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu remembered. In the Inner Scenery Realm, the Sword Immortal was quite arrogant, and she would be happy if praised.

"The Ascension Return Origin Scripture is indeed a miraculous skill, supreme Scripture that can transform a person and grant them a new life!" Chen Yongjie was the first to speak.

This immediately energized Guan Lin. The idea of regaining one's youth and eternal youth was irresistible to any woman. It was so alluring that she immediately pinched Old Chen, telling him to learn and teach her!

Seeing that Old Chen had opened his mouth, Wang Xuan had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes, that's true. I'm also practicing, and I've made some progress. I estimate that even if the Mythical Eternal Silence and I become a mortal, I will still have two or three times more lifespan than ordinary people, and I can probably retain my youth and vitality for a long time."

"Really?" Wu Yin's eyes lit up immediately. She took the initiative to ask for guidance, full of hope, wanting to learn this extraordinary skill from Jiang Qingyao.

"I can do that too," Wang Xuan told her, adding that she could learn from him.

"You're nowhere near as professional as Fairy Jiang!" Da Wu said dismissively.

In fact, even the usually rational and somewhat aloof Goddess Zhao broke down, asking to switch seats with Wang Xuan and come to the Sword Immortal's side. She was extremely interested in those scriptures, and Guan Lin naturally joined in as well.

Wang Xuan, Chen Yongjie, and Qin Cheng exchanged bewildered glances. Could this scripture really be so "powerful" on women? They couldn't resist its allure.

Even the Little Fox Immortal swayed her waist and joined in, as she also considered herself a beautiful woman and wanted to preserve her youth!

No one expected that a mere scripture would break the earlier awkward atmosphere, instantly enlivening the scene with laughter and chatter.

Only the Little Thing felt bored and said, "What's so good about that damn scripture? I want to grow up quickly. If I keep practicing it, I'll start to grow backwards."

However, her complaints were ignored. Zhao Qinghan, Wu Yin, and Guan Lin had already asked for guidance in person and started memorizing the scriptures on the spot, planning to practice them when they got back.

The atmosphere in the private room was lively. Even Grandpa Liu Huaian became witty and uninhibited. For a time, they toasted each other and chatted about everything from the mortal world to the immortal realm.

"Wang Xuan, didn't you collect a lot of fine wine? Hurry up and take it out to exchange for more!" Jiang Qingyao reminded him with a smile. Clearly, she was also a little wine lover and enjoyed sipping a few cups of the Immortal Brew.

"That's right, stop drinking for now, let's change the wine." Wang Xuan slapped his forehead, remembering that after raiding the lair of the Evil Dragon Qi Tian and the home of the Demon Lord Yanyan, there was no shortage of delicacies and fine wine. He quickly made arrangements, saying, "Also, have them change the wine and dishes and prepare some empty plates. I have some unparalleled delicacies here, guaranteed to be something you've never tasted before."

Among those present, Qing Mu and Chen Yongjie were both high-ranking members of an organization, Qin Cheng came from a wealthy family, and as for Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin, they were even more privileged, having grown up in luxury and tasted all sorts of delicacies. Now, they were actually quite looking forward to it.

When the jade jars were opened, the intoxicating fragrance filled the air. Old Master Liu Huaian was immediately excited and said in a trembling voice, "Fine wine from the Great Barrier, the nectar of the Immortal Realm? And the finest of all."

"Peerless Grade!" Wang Xuan nodded, without a hint of exaggeration. This was the wine stored by the evil dragon and the demon lord, now piled up like a small mountain in the Purple Gourd.

"Immortal's aged wine, the finest liquor?" The group couldn't sit still any longer, their breathing quickened. Such a thing could never be seen in the mortal world; it had always been something from myths and legends.

"Don't rush, there are also matching platters. Hmm, some are cold platters, and some can be heated up on the spot." Wang Xuan took out a series of ingredients, all of which were glowing.

He introduced them one by one, "The meat of the Golden-winged Great Peng, the marrow of the Phoenix, the Divine Clam, the Immortal Conch, the wings of the Void-Rending Bird... and this, the dragon meat from the Immortal Realm!"

"Look, Qingling Fruit, Fire Dragon Date, Golden Grape... These fruits are all precious, and their beauty-enhancing effects are just the most basic ones."

The table was filled with divine objects; this was just a tiny fraction of the collection in the Purple Gourd, yet it already dazzled everyone.

The people present had always been particular about food, but now they found that they didn't care anymore and just wanted to feast immediately.

"Oh, this can be eaten directly. Hmm, this needs to be heated. Just roast it with extraordinary true fire." The Sword Immortal smiled, her movements elegant yet swift. Her fire control technique was superb, heating and roasting simultaneously, instantly filling the air with a rich aroma.

The Little Thing's mouth was stuffed full of sweet and fragrant food, its little face puffed up. At the same time, it didn't forget to speak, saying, "Fortunately, these things were brought to the mortal world. The power of rules and order contained in the flesh and blood has dissipated, otherwise you might not be able to eat them and would not be able to enjoy them."

Even so, the delicacies and fine wines made them all feel dizzy, especially after drinking the Immortal Brew. Even Old Master Liu Huaian was drunk and practicing his boxing there, not to mention the others.

Aside from Guan Lin, pregnant women can't drink alcohol, so she can only admire her.

Wu Yin was there, pulling the Little Fox Immortal along, swaying and dancing like a cat in a drunken stupor.

With a clink, Zhao Qinghan clinked glasses with Wang Xuan. Her pretty face was already flushed, and she was slightly tipsy. After drinking this cup, she was almost drunk.

The Sword Immortal sat beside him, smiling as she asked Wang Xuan, "What's your relationship with this girl?"

"More than friends, less than lovers, I'm almost ready to get friend-zoned," Wang Xuan said, slightly tipsy.

"Nonsense, I haven't posted it yet." It's clear that Goddess Zhao is really drunk; otherwise, she wouldn't usually act like this.

Now, her face was flushed, and she was tipsy, swaying as she stood up. She glanced at Jiang Qingyao, then pinched Wang Xuan's waist and asked, "What's your relationship with this fairy?"
